how did your score drop too 610? or is it 710? since your lease just reported a reason could be loan balances to loan amount too high.
i got a car in august (toyota) and paid about 10% when i apped amex in jan. i was declined with a 726 ex fico.
2 inq's would not drop your score 100 points though no matter how you look at it.
*****My equifax is 710 (got the score alert on friday), i purchased my trans union but its still the same score 610 i guess they take a couple of days more than equifax to upgrade their system. The reason Discover denied me was because they said the student loans are deffered but "it still looks like you havent began to pay them", they also said i have a couple of inquiries (though i have no collections), it also still shows my utilization is high which is weird because i only have a balance of 7 dollars on two cards totalin 700cli. (this base on the fico report i view on friday when i got the score alert.) I've had the two cards for about 7-8 months. I will definitely try to recon the barclays thanks for the number. uggghh lol. do you guys think these two inquiries will bring be from a 710 to 600's?
Its hard to say really. If you past a threshold inq amount (IE: going from 4 to 6 when 5 is a threshold amount) it might.
A lot will be determined by how many inq you already had and how old they are. Fico, if memory serves me correct, does not count inq over a year old in its algorithim.

In no way shape or form will 2 INQ's drop your score close to 100 points. Never. INQ's / New Accounts only affect the FICO score 15%. Thats it.
It has to be a derog or some type of negative reporting to do that damage and even that is a stretch.

Well that makes much more sense
Discover pulled a bank-enchanced EQ Fico when I was approved. The EQ they gave me was 25 points higher than the one I got from DCU.

Are you sure they even pulled EQ?
Barclays pulls TU almost exclusively. Discover also pulls TU more often than not.
Resisting the urge to apply with every score bump isn't easy but it pays off in the long run.
So after reading the fine print a suject line that would also be accurate for this would be "610 declined." Sometimes we are only as strong as our weakest link unfortunately. You made a smart decision by checking your TU scorer after the initial score alert where your other score was 710. That may have been the time to pull back and hold off a little longer. I know I have the benefit of 20/20 hindsight saying that. Idk what I would have done but drkaje was right. Doing nothing and waiting is very hard byut essential to good credit scores....
